Wellll I do hope they fix the head banging, because right now it looks retarded as hell. And we know they can mess this up, because that's exactly why no one uses the Draenor talbuks.

And we know they can mess this up, because that's exactly why no one uses the Draenor talbuks.\r\rRight now it's missing a mount special, so it could get refined more. We've also seem all bears get an animation revamp out of the blue so anything is possible.

Always from hard pvp and never letting us mortals get them :(

Always from hard pvp and never letting us mortals get them :(\r\rIt's far from being hard. You just need a 100 victories in rated 3v3. Considering a match is, at most, 5 minutes, and even assuming you win exactly half of your matches, that's about 16 hours of gameplay. \r\rIt might be tedious, depending on how much time you spend on the game, but not hard.

Always from hard pvp and never letting us mortals get them :(\r\rIt's not hard, you just need patience and to know what you're doing. Go in trying your best and expect to lose some. You'll never get good if you don't do it.

I wonder if the runed darkhound models will be getting model updates as well, like the magehunter mobs in Dragonblight.

At the moment, this isn't the Viscious mount. There's no Alliance standard or flair, so it can't be, unlike the horde mount that was found with this one. I'm sure we will get one using this hound as a base though.

This looks kinda more like the racial mount. I know there's that core hound mount, but it doesn't have any dark iron specific features, it looks too generic. Now this one has these dark iron plating armor.\r\rAlso, this one doesn't have any alliance feature like any of the other vicious mounts, so I greatly doubt it is.

Those look like dwarf faces to me.

I don't mind the look of these new models so much, but I did like the old hounds for what they were, different posture and all that. Seems a shame to lose that.

It could be changed in a future build, but right now the Core Hound mount still has the "Achievement: Allied Races: Dark Iron Dwarf" source and puppy model.

It'd be a shame, I want both !

Wellll I do hope they fix the head banging...I don't know - I think a bit of headbanging fits with the Dark Iron theme :D

At the moment, this isn't the Viscious mount. There's no Alliance standard or flair, so it can't be, unlike the horde mount that was found with this one. I'm sure we will get one using this hound as a base though.I'm actually with you on this. We know the core hound mount is linked to the DiD achievement, and we've seen a Mag'har Orc Vicious mount so logic would dictate that there'd be a DiD one too. This one, however, really doesn't fit with the other "Vicious" mounts.

The Vicious mounts have ALL been pimped out in FACTION colours, banners etc and not race. Even the Mag'har Orc Vicious mount is in Horde colours wiht a Horde flag on it. This mount though is unquestionably a Dark Iron specific mount. It has DiD styling and design and nothing relating it to the rest of the Alliance.

Agreed. While the new model looks cool, I think it's lost most of the personality of the original models. They had this weird bolt upright stance which was always pretty unique to them, not to mention the super crazy teeth of the original models.
